a metà

Halfway

意思

In the middle.

🌍

文化背景

Sharing food is a sign of intimacy. Asking 'facciamo a metà?' is common among friends and family, showing a lack of greed and a desire for shared experience. The proverb 'Chi ben comincia è a metà dell'opera' is taught to children to encourage them to start their homework or projects early. In Italian business, being 'a metà' of a project often implies a critical review phase where the initial momentum is assessed before the final push. In some Southern regions, you might hear 'a mmiez' (in the middle) used more frequently in dialect, but 'a metà' remains the standard for formal and clear communication.

💡

The 'A' is Key

Always remember the 'a'. Saying just 'metà' sounds like you are just saying the noun 'half' without context.

⚠️

Not for People

Don't use 'a metà' to describe a person's height or size; use 'di media statura'.
